Actually, I’d like it better if it were a badged BMW.

It’s like they couldn’t be bothered and the want to charge you $50k for it. If it were BMW, I’d consider paying $60k as weird as that seems.
I don't know man, see where you're going, but think it's basically about the badge with that comment.

Toyota doesn't have the brand prestige to sell a call at $56K; this is true. However, the Supra was always a pricey sports car in comparison to say, a Nissan Z.

The Z4 is a more mature expression of the platform, while the Supra is, what it has always been, a car for more wealthy tuners.

I wouldn't plan to tune either, maybe, but I will likely get one or the other as my 3rd car.
